There are 3 routes of varying difficulties – 6, 10 or 16 kilometres.

Setting off from the Blacknest carpark, the start times are:

6km – 10.15am

10km – 10.00am

16km – 9.45am

We’re working on making it a fantastic day out for everyone — including face painting and photographic competitions for kids. We’re providing a barbeque lunch following the walk. And, for the botanists among you: the rhododendron garden is apparently at its absolute best in May!

For individuals, registration is £10; for families, it’s £20. This will cover our costs — every pound raised through sponsorship will go directly to the scientists we’re backing.
